This comes after a stink was kicked up about women broadcasting themselves in low-cut tops, with some users taking particular aim against certain women utilising the IRL (in real life) arm of the website, labelling them “booby streamers” and “bikini streamers”.

Last weekend’s announcement from Twitch is an attempt to address the many concerns of users.

“Over the past several months, you’ve told us certain sections of our Community Guidelines were not clear enough, or, in some cases, not strong enough to govern this ever-changing landscape,” Twitch’s statement said.

“And we were too slow to act.

“To begin addressing this, we’re rolling out a series of updates to the policies, moderation processes, and products that guide interpersonal interaction on Twitch.”

Twitch is also taking a stance against harassment on the site, warning users that “conduct we deem to be hateful will result in an immediate indefinite suspension”.

“Hate simply has no place in the Twitch community,” the statement said.
